It requires a "DirectX® 8 level Graphics Card" with a recommended ""DirectX® 9 level Graphics Card."

I have integrated graphics, but the approx total memory when i run the directx tool is 358mb... Can I run it? How do I know if this card is compatible? (Mobile Intel 965 Express Chipset Family)

I have a duo core procesor 2GHZT7300

2GB of Ram.

I know the graphics card majorly sucks...will it work for TF2? CS:S?

Er... possibly on the lowest of low settings.. its not a graphics card as such, but an integrated chip, and I dont know if you can upgrade laptops very easily. I think its unlikely you will play it well on that laptop, but good luck anyway :)

Its not a graphics card, as you said, its integrated. I would bet that it would not run, as Intel's integrated video usually does not support DirectX features. But even if it did, I don't think it would be able to push enough frames per second to make the game playable in the first place.

I don't think so... I have a 9600XT and despite the fact I can run hl2/css on max, I have to set TF2 on the lowest settings to get it to run completely smooth.

I don't think you can get decent fps with that card, even at low settings

i would be surprised if you could run it at the lowest possible settings, that chipset comes in many laptops, and that chipset has trouble running even WOW, and wow is a PoS when it comes to graphics.

Even something like a 8500GT would run CSS MUCH better than intergrated video...

i bet you could run CS:S on it, just not well, my friend has a laptop with the ati x200 chipset, and it can play at low to medium low settings, so i bet the intel could get by on low.
